Glock 27 Extended Magazine

[Producer]

Glock 27 Mag and Scherer Extended Magazine. Would be 9+2. Legal for non Leo's?

If not; were there ever pre-ban's (11 rounds) for the 27? If so, where can I get em?

 

[Len-2A Training]

Only legal if made pre-9/13/94.

Otherwise you are "constructing a new hi-cap mag" which would be a felony.

 

[Doctordrew]

im pretty sure if you have a mag that holds more than 10. thats considerd a "high capacity" no matter if you put an extender on it or not.

pierce makes grip extenders that dont change the capacity.

maybe if you find a preban glock mag you could add an extender to make it hold 11 rounds legally??

(im NOT a lawyer, just my thoughts)

Thanks for the heads up;

"glock 22 high caps and put on the collar"

That possible? Not familiar with Glocks enough to know.

So after creating a mess of two threads, LenS, your stating

Item # AG-1923
GLOCK GRIPS
A + G Grip Extension M-19,M-23 - A&G Grip Extenders are high impact polymer collars which slip over full size magazines. When full sized magazines are used with mini Glocks the A&G Grip Extension fill the gap between the bottom of the gun and the base of the magazine. This useful addition helps eliminate flinching and increases comfort and accuracy giving the shooter the grip and feel of its larger counterpart. Easily installed or removed, they work equally well with any full sized magazine, 10 round or Hi-Capacity. This product will allow you to use a G19, G23 or G32 magazine in a G26, G27 or G33 pistol.

This is ok with a post ban g23 magazine?

If not; were there ever pre-ban's (11 rounds) for the 27? If so, where can I get em?

The Glock 26 and 27 were introduced in July 1995 (according to Patrick Sweeney's The Gun DigestBook of the Glock) so there should be no pre-ban G27 mags.

"G-27 Glock Factory New 9 Rd Mags
- Add Optional Grip Add Scherer +1 Grip"

So that will give me 10 shots with another one in the chamber.

Someone stop me if I am doing something wrong.

One minor exception to that rule...

Dear Mr. Bardwell:

This refers to your letter of September 15, 2000, in which you
asked about modifying a magazine.

As defined in section 921(a)(31), of Title 18, United States Code
(U.S.C.), the term large capacity ammunition feeding device -

(A) means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar
device manufactured after the date of enactment of the Violent
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (September 13,
1994) that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored
or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition; but

(B) does not include an attached tubular device designed to
accept,and capable of operating only with .22 caliber rimfire
ammunition.

It is generally unlawful for a person to transfer or possess a
large capacity ammunition feeding device as provided in 18 U.S.C.
section 922(w).

A magazine manufactured prior to September 13, 1994, would not be
a large capacity ammunition-feeding device as defined. You asked
about altering such a magazine so that it could fit in another type
of firearm.

If the altered magazine could no longer function in the firearm for
which it was originally designed, it is our opinion that a new
magazine has been manufactured. The fact that the materials used
to construct the new magazine were made prior to September 13,
1994, would not mean that the magazine was manufactured prior tot
hat date. The altered magazine would be a large capacity
ammunition feeding device and it would be subject to the
prohibition in section 922(w).

If the magazine has minor modifications performed, such as cutting
an additional slot for a different style of magazine release, and
it still functions in the original firearm for which it was
designed, we do not believe that it would be considered a new
magazine. However, it major changes are made it is possible that
a new magazine has been manufactured. It is not possible for us to
render a final opinion on such magazines without examining a
sample.


We trust that the foregoing has been responsive to your inquiry.
If you have further questions concerning this matter, please
contact us.


Sincerely yours,

How the MA AG would view something like that could be an entirely different matter though.

 

[Doctordrew]

isnt this only stating that you cannot build or modify a mag to accept over 10 rounds? if he is modifying a mag to accept 10 or less rounds he should be fine right????
